All about my adventures in finding things - vintage, pre-loved or uniquely new - and, in some cases,
making them 'dandy' by adding to them.

A painterly apartment

I have long been a fan of design blog Yellowtrace - part of my morning ritual involves a check of my inbox to see what new inspiring goodness they have to offer. Rarely disappointed, today I was utterly compelled to share it with you.

Upon seeing this apartment I was in interior's heaven - but it also instantly made me think of something.

I have decided that if the 17th century dutch painter Johannes Vermeer, he of the Girl with a Pearl Earring fame, had been a modern interior designer this is the apartment he would give us.

Then

The most amazing Old Chalet Refurbishment by Bergdorf & Nick Ruef // Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, as seen on Yellowtrace today, stunningly photographed by Martin Guggisberg.

What do you think?
Do you think living here would feel as enveloping as the faded and delicately colourful charm of a Vermeer painting?

Find out about me

I am a mum and an interior design student with a love (some would say addiction) to 'finding' things in all manner of ways - off the street, in second hand shops and at garage sales. I also don't mind a beach-comb it must be said.
Here you may also hear about my adventures in 'finding' the great things in life along with my family and friends and having a 'dandy' time doing it.
A find: something found; a discovery, especially a valuable or gratifying one.
To find oneself: to discover where one's real interests or talents lie, and follow them.
